Hi! I am a 43 year old T2. I am married with 5 kids. I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy in 2002 and diagnosed as type 2 the following August at 165 pounds. I began insulin in 2014 and at my worst, I was 225 pounds and taking almost 200 units of insulin (both humalog and fiasp or the like) daily. For the past year, I have been working towards a keto/carnivore diet and exercising more. I have only lost about 10 lbs but am down to about 40 units of insulin daily. With the addition of Mounjaro 2 weeks ago, I have also cut out 2 of my 3 oral diabetic meds. My mom was diagnosed at age 35 and passed away from diabetic complications by the time she was 63. I'm fighting to live a longer, healthier life than my mom. This is the first time I've ever been part of any kind of support system for diabetes.
